INTRODUCTION
The Heterodyne
Voltmeter
Type 2007
is
a portable, completely self-
contained, precision instrument, designed
for
voltage, frequency and
modulation measurements on radio frequency signals.
It
is
basically a high
quality
super heterodyne receiver
with
an
AM
detector and FM discriminator
for
measurements on amplitude and
frequency modulated signals
and
apeak diode detector
for
measurements
on
TV
signals. The heterodyne section
of
the instrument features voltage
controlled
tuning
over eight frequency
ranges
covering
100kHz
to
305 MHz, plus selectable wide and narrow measurement bandwidths
of
±100kHz
and±
1.25 kHz respectively. Tuning may be carried
out
using the
instrument's course and fine
tuning
controls
to
regulate
an
internal voltage,
or
it
may
be
accomplished remotely using
an
external voltage. The tuned-in
frequency
is
indicated on a frequency meter, which
for
TV
measurements
is
also provided
with
interchangeable meter
scales
on which American and
European
TV
channels
are
indicated.
The
output
section
of
the 2007
is
a quasi
RMS
voltmeter which
for
carrier measurements
has
voltage sensitivities ranging
from
100
pV
to
100
Volt
full
scale.
For
modulation measurements the meter
is
calibrated in
modulation percentage (0
to
80%)
for
amplitude modulated signals and
frequency deviation
(0
to
80kHz)
for
frequency modulated signals.
Unlike
conventional instruments
of
this
type
the 2007
need
only
be
calibrated at one frequency
for
which
a
built-in
27 MHz reference signal
is
provided. Once calibration
has
been applied
it
is
valid at all
other
frequencies in the measurement range
of
the 2007.
The power supply
of
the 2007
is
completely self contained.
It
may
be
operated
from
either
a mains supply
or
from
five rechargeable nickel
cadmium cells which
are
built-in
along
with
a battery charger. When
fully
charged the
built-in
batteries
will
give
about
8 hours
of
continuous
operation before recharging
is
necessary.
The accuracy and
portability
of
the 2007
will
make
it
especially useful
for
measurements, alignment
or
trouble
shooting on a wide variety
of
radio
and
TV
communications equipment, including transmitting and receiving
antennas. Its high selectivity, and good image and
IF
rejection also makes
it
ideal
for
distortion
measurements.
